triplet grid single accent forward - snare drum exercise

[Chop11000]

@MrZball75

If you know anything about drum line and things relevant to that, it's a pride position, not cockiness. So calm your tits.

[2011jaba45]

so where is it written in 12/8 ?????? what place or book??????????? , by thr way u don't look cocky U look Big Time Pro as you are

[2011jaba45]

so where do U get the sticking for this ???

[MrZball75]

you look so cocky with your head up like that

[screamodrummer1234]

so does 12/8 give more of a triplet feel? or does it just make more musical sense to write it that way?

[snarescience]

@screamodrummer1234 All of the above. If I wrote the exercise in 4/4 instead of 12/8 I'd have to notate everything as triplets which is just kinda annoying and clutters up the sheet music with "3"s.

[drummer313ify]

can you do a vid on gravity blasting?

[xfirexboardx]

I was just wondering why this is written in 12/8, because i wrote this in 4/4 and it's the same thing, do you mark time differently with the 12/8?

[snarescience]

@xfirexboardx

The mark time should line up the same way it does if you write the exercise in 4/4. In 12/8 you mark time to the dotted eighth note, in 4/4 you mark time to the quarter note.

@snarescience Thank you very much,I just had another question and it's about the fivelet two-accent grid,Marking time with the exercise in 10/8 does that mean every measure you're changing the first beat from left foot to right foot?

[mcintireman]

@snarescience Sorry dont mean to be rude but actually you mark time to the dotted quarter note in 12/8, not the dotted eighth. Well you could mark to the dotted eighth if you were marching double speed. 12/8 and 4/4 have no real difference other than making it easier on the notater. Nice playing though

[snarescience]

@mcintireman Ahh, good catch! My mistake.

[mcintireman]

@snarescience Anytime. Just trying to help out!

[DrumAdrastus]

This is what Jacksonville State University uses as a triplet accent warm-up. I marched 7th bass there. And @MarnieGray, it's really not that hard to mark time with this exercise once instructors beat it in to you every single day for three weeks straight during camp. lol

[MarnieGray]

now, can you do it marking time?

[stridegum1213]

great job but it sounds like you have a metrically perfect washing machine ha

[keysonyanosmilanos]

@stridegum1213 Hahaha, xD.

[retfosria]

what kind of drum pad is he using?

[joeyisfunny]

Man Machine.

[sahsdrumline]

fuck you

[FatGocks]

Well aren't you just a ball of sunshine!

[iceydrummer]

it's not suppose to be a hard thing to play, it's just a triplet gridding that gets the line together

[xelementassassin]

its an exercise.

[zace98]

mark time to it. then put a diddle on the first partial and leave it there throughout the exercise. then add a flam. then make it a flam five. then come talk smack. =)

[Genomaciec]

If you cant mark time to it CORRECTLY then your not doing it right. This exercise is for your feet to line up with the met while your hand does not.

If you dont understand something dont make fun of it.

[madjical]

You're cool. Nobody cares what you've done since 9th grade.  Nobody ever said "this exercise is so hard." It's a 2 height exercise, used for independence, control, and timing. He's doing a demonstration for those that want to learn it, so go puff out your chest somewhere else.

[snw04]

this is what i call a drummer...

[Nafvids]

Great job on this!

[Saint2558]

We just did these in our winter percussion thing today. It's easy for me to play these.

[WilliamErGeil]

very good, but you should stop looking so formal.

[MrRubik404]

thats a bad thing now?

[Llyud]

truly talented.

[Imsocool1004]

great control
